Officials and business representatives from Finland are scheduled to visit Kazakhstan this week
Finland’s Minister for Foreign Trade and Development, Ville Tavio, will lead a trade mission to Almaty and Astana from April 9 to 12, as reported by the ministry’s press service on April 8.
Tavio will be accompanied by a delegation of 17 Finnish companies representing industrial sectors crucial for Finland’s exports. The agenda encompasses trade promotion, bilateral relations, the European Union (EU) partnership with Kazakhstan, and the augmentation of cooperation across various fields.
“Kazakhstan has great market potential for Finnish expertise. Rich in natural resources, Kazakhstan is actively seeking solutions for energy production and more sustainable management of natural resources. Here Finnish companies have solutions to offer,” Tavio said.
The mission's collaborative partner is EastCham Finland, a stakeholder of Team Finland. They are actively exploring emerging markets in Kazakhstan and assisting Finnish companies in establishing operations in Central Asia.
“The visit led by the minister is important for promoting access to the Kazakhstan market. We are travelling with a select group of companies representing top expertise in sectors important to Kazakhstan, such as mining, energy, construction, water, the environment, forestry, logistics and education. At the core of all our activities are careful groundwork, knowledge of our customers and compliance with sanctions,” says Jaana Rekolainen, CEO of EastCham Finland.(Source:astanatimes)
